@WereKitten: You know what the biggest difference here is? Basically you're arguing about the architectural differences of the processors itself, that are required in order to make multicore processor work, in relation to a single core. I'm not arguing about technical details or basing any argument on them.
What i'm pointing out is, that a single 360 core and Broadway are very close to each other, and the production cost of a single core and Broadway aren't far from each other.
@shinsa: Other than sales it's hard to measure how people perceive a product fitting themselves. If something doesn't sell, people don't see the product to fit them.
As "good" is purely subjective measure, your perception of what's good is just as good as anybody elses. You don't have to like Wii, or any other console for that matter, but that goes for the rest of the people just aswell.
Gaming have matured as gamers have grown up, not because of a company entering the business.
For the NES part, Nintendo is doing the same with Wii as it did with NES. There are lots of titles that will be remembered as classics after two decades.
@Doobie wop: Hanafuda cards were hugely successful, which means they didn't "fail tremendously".
Disliking Sony or M$ doesn't make you a Nintendo fan, so let's not generalise here.
I don't know a single hifist that didn't dislike Sony. Disliking M$ is pretty common in Linux and Mac communities and even among Windows users. So, some of the "dislike" comes even outside the gaming community.
Then, a lot of people who have been playing games for longer, dislike Sony for bringing the huge amount of shovelware into the business. If Sega and Atari would still be "alive", Sony and M$ would get the same "dislike" from their "fans" just aswell.
Gamers do dislike BD getting shoved up their ass and last thing people wants to see, is a Windows operating system on their console.
Ei Kiinasti.
Eikä Japanisti.
Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.
Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
